Add to iTunesSpecial Episode: Friend Connect Conference Call
A few month’s ago, we syndicated the Open Social Conference Call and it received a very positive reaction from you our audience. Therefore, we decided to bring you another special episode today as Google makes another announcement.
Tonight, at the next in Google’s series of Campfire One events, they are announcing “Friend Connect.” The recording is syndicated from their preview conference call today. Friend Connect allows sites to add social functionality to any website. As we anticipated over the weekend on ReadWriteWeb, Google joins Facebook and MySpace in annoucning this functionality over the last 3 business days.

The new development in Friend Connect is that Google is going to roll out Friend Connect on Blogger first. Right now it is masquerading as the Following or Followers widget.

Google said at the TechCrunch50 conference that they would roll out a Blogger Friend Connect release soon and that was August 27th.
